I second that. Game 1 MVP definitely goes to Bibby.

Mike was looking a little like the Mike in Sacramento. He was ballin hopes he keeps it up and hopefully Jamal jitters r gone. GO HAWKS

We go as his shot goes a lot of the time. If he's on, everything else sorta comes together.

Bibby is the MVP of this game...I had a good laugh when he took it to the hole and scored...he even played some defense, had a great steal.

yeah lets not give the award to a man who led the team in scoring(22), tied for second in rebounding(7) assists(5) and steals (3) , you blind *ss fans can piss a person off with the quickness

so clearly 19-3-3-1 is better than 22/7/5/3

it would make much more sense to name this award , most suprising performance , not MVP

Joe Johnson took 21 shots to get 22 points. He has better games than this all of the time. Bibby had his best game of the season, and without him playing over his head tonight we are looking at a possible game 1 Loss. If he continues to play this way we are gonna have 5 guys out there that are all playing at an extremely high level, and that is good enough to beat anyone. I'm not sure I am too confident he can keep it up though.

Great performance tonight. Hopefully he can play well in the majority of the games.

Most definitely, Mike gets top-dawg for this win. Without his offense and that huge steal, getting this victory would have been much less comfortable. Can't expect 8-out-of-9 FGs going foward, but even half this production will put this series in the bag.

thats true but joe was still shooting close to 50% (11-21) with a wrapped up finger, but if thats the case horf didnt do anything because he took 14 to get 15?

It's not a contest amongst the 2 players here.

Praising Bibby for exceptional (for him) performance isn't a slight against Joe.

understood but just because he has his best game shooting of the season doesnt mean he is MVP, it just mean he was the most important X factor (marvin, bibby, evans , zaza) that we need to keep goin forward to advance

Shame on you JJ if your a real fan. Take heath to Atlantaholic's post. This is a team game and on our team a average or slightly above average game by JJ doesn't top the waaayyyy above average game in a long time by Bibby. If Mario had a 17 point 8 rebound game in clutch moments in a win he may get it over a forced or easy 28/30 point game by JJ. JJ is a star we know that and expect that. Bibby surprised most of us by showing he saved some in the tank for the big games so give Bibby his props!!

I'm not saying Joe didn't have a good game. He did, but Bibby had a better game. Horf had a decent game too, he disappeared in the second half and yesterday was hopefully one of the worse efforts we see from him. And yeah when you are scoring at about one point per shot, that isn't very good. It is well below average. (it would take us 95 shots to get 100 points if everyone on the team was scoring at that pace). Non the less, Joe played a heck of a good all around game, and hopefully continues to play at around this level the entire playoffs.
